CL'l.l.EN N'EA Staff Correspondent LONDON NEA) - John Hay "("Jock") Whitney, America's am bassador to Britain, is being strafed these days by the Anti-Uglies, as Britain's angry young architects are called. There is nothing personal or po litical about it. But Ambassador Whitney is being blamed for the new, $7,000,000 American embas sy which is ncaring completion in Crosvenor Square. The Anti-Uglies consider it "atrocious." "It has that gold-plated Cadillac look about it," complains a beard ed, pipe-smoking young architect, who is one ol the ring-leaders. He holds Ambassador Whitney, Sjyear-old socialite and former polo player, personally responsible for the building "because as an art collector he should know bet ter." ACTUALLY, THE six-story em bassy, which will not be ready for occupancy until March, ldiiti. is the work of Eero Saarinen, Finnish born American architect. Saari nen won a Slate Department com petition for the best design. The Anti-Uglies are mostly stu dent architects who rebel against the conventional in design. In re cent months they have staged mock funeral processions, with mourners decked out in black, be fore new buildings which they con NOW PLAYING!

Their own hang-out is The Parti san, an espresso bar which is done up in the style known as "The New Brutalism." Here, in an at mosphere foggy with pipe smoke, they brood over the ills of city planning. The Anti-Uglies have no objec tion to the actual design of the new American embassy, which is U-shapcd and with pencil-thin col umns. "WHAT WE object to," a stu dent in a turtle-neck sweater ex plained, "is all that gold." Certainly, Saarinen has not been sparing in his use - of gold, or rather anodized aluminum with a gold finish as trimming for the new chancellory. It will he surmounted by a gold en American eagle with a 35-foot wing span, which has become a chief target for the Anti-Uglies. "What an outcry there would be in Amciica if the British lopped their embassy in Washing ton with a golden lion measuring 33 feet from nose to tail," the sweatercd one exclaimed. "Yes, or imagine a 35-foot gold hamjiier and sickle above the Rus sian embassy in Washington," a bearded companion chimed in. THE ;oi.l) EAGLE has caused raised eyebrows even at The Sun day Times, which questions wheth er it is "the ideal symbol to brood over a famous square in a foreign capital. Other examples of "golden pic crust embellishments," as The Sunday Times calls it, are gold bars between the windows of the four upper floors and a gold trim ming above the cornice of the new embassy. The Sunday Times' verdict "more reminiscent of a cigarette factory than an embassy." Among other amenities which the new American embassy will of- icr are a well-stocked library, an auditorium seating 1, a restau rant and cafeteria, recording stu dios and parking space for 120 vehicles. Ambassador Whitney's suite in cludes a lounge with dressing oom, conference rooms and his own private dining room. The ambassador can take some comfort from the fact that the British are also severely critical of their own official architecture abroad. "A frozen evasion" is the way The Observer describes the new wing of the British embassy n Washington. Poors Open 6:45 P.M. "DENNIS THE MENACE" JM HOT LOOKING FOE TROUBLE.

MILKS HAVANA (AP) The takeover of Cuban and foreign-owned ranch and farm property by Kidcl Cas tro's forces appears more and more to be following only one law the law of force. Although the sweeping agrarian reform law adopted by Castro's revolutionary Cabinet lust May gives his representatives power to seize big estates, the govern ment's agents are taking over buildings, equipment and live stock as well. Estimates of the amount of land seized now reach into the millions of acres. Most of it so far is in cattle-rich Camaguey and Oricnte provinces, and in Pinar del Rio, whore most of Cuba's fine tobacco is grown. .Most sugar estates are being lett alone for the present so as not to reduce the next har vest. - Cuban lawyers representing the landowners say appeals .to points of law with agents of the govern ment's powerful Institute of Agrarian Reform (1NRA) fre quently bring the reply "What law? We , arc the. law." . , Kilos of the United States lim bassy are rapidly filling with re ports of cases in which Castro agents usually bearded military ofliccrs backed by squads of armed soldiers moved in and seized equipment, cattle and build ings. The agrarian reform law pro vides for expropriation of land for distribution among the landless but contains no provision for sei zure of agricultural mncluncry, other equipment or livestock. "So called agrarian institute delegates pay no attention to this law when they "intervene' in prop erties," said one Cuban lawyer. "They just take over and all our elfnrts to find out -under what de cree or law they are acting are futile." Intervention is one step short of expropriation a government agent moves in to control opera tions of the farm or ranch but does not take formal possession This was the step taken Sunday against the American owned Ptinta Alegre Sugar Company's 5,000-acre , La Gloria ranch in Camaguey province. A spokesman at La Gloria said the owners are still in physical possession of their land and build ings. But on Sunday 1NRA agents took the second step formal sei zuro against the 3,(HK acre ranch in Camaguey of the Be cerra Cattle Co., owned by the King ranch of Texas. The man agers there are fighting what ap pears to be a losing battle to pre vent Castro agents from physical ly seizing the ranch buildings equipment and cattle. "Its a sort of anarchy In many sections ol Cuba today, with in stitute representatives and armed forces under them doing jilst about as they please," one Ameri can rancher reported.

I WASHINGTON (AP) - More missiles, less manpower is what emerges from the Eisenhower ad ministration's 1961 military bud get. The President gave tentative ap proval to this concept Monday at Augusta, Ga., after a four-hour meeting with top Pentagon brass and government budget planners. Spending will remain at about the present 41 billion dollars for the year starting next July 1. Secretary of" Defense Neil H. McElroy said the Navy and Air Force had volunteered to cut their manpower requirements a little in 1MB1. To offset this loss they can look forward to more and better missiles and more atomic-powered submarines. A second nuclear-powered aircraft carrier for the Navy failed to get approval. The Army and Marine Corps re- sisted pressures to cut their forces. McElroy, foreshadowing the new shape of war in the missile age, said the nation must face some time in the future the ques tion of calling back some of its troops overseas. No cut in these forces is in prospect for the next 16 months. In concert with McElroy's think ir.g. the Air Force chief of staff .Monday told the meeting of NATO parliamentarians here to expect cutbacks in conventional forces, including manned aircraft, in the future. Gen. Thomas D. White told the NATO group other changes are in prospect, such as a rearrange ment of military forces now in- Europe and creating of a fast striking combat unit based in the United States but ready for action anywhere. White's views dovetailed with the forecast made by McElroy to newsmen in Augusta and on his return to Washington. McElroy said the 1961 defense CHICKEN CHICKENS BUSIIEY, England (UPD- Poultry farmer Frank Woodward complained to police Monday (hat jet airplanes flying over his farm were ruining him.

Military manpower now is about 2'i million. Just where and how m.-ny will be spared was not dis closed. The Air Force for the current year agreed to accept a lower authorized strength of 845.000, and actually has operated below that ceiling. Under the new budget the Air Force will lose several of its 102 wings of aircraft, most likely in B47 medium bomber units. It will continue to build up the bigger B52 bombers to a scheduled peak of 700 planes. The Air Force now has opera tional control of the intercontin ental ballistic missiles, the wea pons of the future. The Navy, under the new bud get, will have to retire a few of its 864 active ships, and probably operate the remaining ones with smaller crews. But the Navy's number of atom ic submarines, each capable of iaunching 16 Polaris ballistic mis siles, is slowly growing. It cur rently is building nine Polaris subs, and will ask money to start at least three more next year. The new Navy budget might even be stretched to provide for five more. Judge Wins Libel Suit EUGENE (AP) - Circuit Judge Frank B. Reid Saturday won a $3,000 verdict from a jury of 12 women in the trial of his $200,000 libel action against the Eugene Register-Guard.

The jury refused to grant dam ages on the other charge, based on publication of a court document the same month. Mne of the 12 jurors signed the verdict, which was announced after 15 hours of deliberation. Circuit Judge George R. Duncan of Marion County presided at the trial, which lasted 13 days.
